ART: PHOTOS CUTLINE: (1) Crowds line up Monday to tour a B-17 Flying Fortress WWII heavy bomber at Worcester Regional Airport.
It barred its signatories from deploying more than 6,000 nuclear warheads atop a total of 1,600 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and heavy bombers.
Cuts included a program to develop a new long-range heavy bomber for the Defense Department and changes to a planned replacement fleet of presidential "Marine One" helicopters.
